Theos-Talk Archives (December 2006 Message tt00278)

My attempts to obtain direct answers to questions about the ULT have
resulted in some of the most bizarre responses, both on this site and in
direct e-mails, of my experience. It’s been like trying to obtain direct
answers from politicians! For an organization that claims to be open and
non-authoritarian, the non-responses suggest an organization more like the
secret service.

As a final attempt, let me repeat the questions:

1. Does the ULT have archives? [surely the answer is “yes” or “no”]
2. By whom are the archives owned? [they must legally be owned by some
person or corporation – is it, e.g., the Theosophy Company?]
3. Who controls the achives? [i.e. from whom does permission have to be
obtained for access]

I have received answers about free public access to ULT libraries, but
obviously my questions are not about libraries.

To which I have added:

1. Does the DES exist? [surely the answer is “yes” or “no”]
2. Who is/are the head/heads of the DES in this world? [someone must have
authority to decide on applications for membership]

I’m not looking for long philosophical responses – just direct answers. I
would accept a direct answer like: “We are not prepared to answer that
question.”
